Discontinued

LayerBulletin has now been discontinued, we have decided that because of the mess that the community and software was in it was best to discontinue the software.

Not to fear, Andy Rixon is still working on forum software and has opened up a new project which hopes to be a fresh start for everyone, which has been called LayerBB.
